r1`his invent-ion relates tohair combs and has for its principal object a. comb provided with an oil reservoir and means for allowing the oil to flow into a manifold or distributing chamber located in the upper portion of a comb, communicating with hollow teeth of said comb.

Another ol ject is to provide an oil reservoir that may be easily removed and replaced. y

A. still further object is to provide an operating lever whereby the oil may be released so as toflow into the manifold or distributing chamber, or caused to cease flowing as desired.

With these and other objects in view this invention consists of certain novel combinations, constructions, and arrangements of parts as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1 is a side elevation ot the device.

Fig. 2 is a detail sectional view.

Fig. 3 is a detail view of operating lever.

eferring to the accompanying drawing bv numerals, like numerals representing like parts through the various gures, it will be seen that the comb comprises a body portion l and a handle 2. Securely mounted upon the outer end of the body portion 1 of the comb is a bracket spring 3 which is provided with an opening 4. Securely mounted upon the opposite end of the comb is a bracket 5 with an upright portion 6. This upright portion 6 has a circular face 7. This circular face 7 registers with the cap 8 of the oil reservoir 9 which can be made ot' any suitable material, but preferably of glass, in order to see the supply of oil in the oil reservoir 9.

1n placing the reservoir 9 in position the Speccation of Letters Patent.

tip l0 on the cap 11 is placed in the opening 4. The spring l2 is then pulled back and the end closed by the cap 8 is pushed down so that the convex cap end registers with the concave circular :tace 7 and the pin 13 registers with the notch 14.

hen it is desired to release oil from the reservoir 9 the operating lever 15, which is pivotehd by means ofa pin 16, causes the 8, thereby forcing the end of the reservoir 9 upward until the opening 18 in the ca 8 is opposite theend of the channel 19 which leads into a manifold or distributing cham- It will be seen by referring to Fig. 1 that the teeth 21 are provided with central openings 22.

y referring to Fig. 3 it will be seen that the operating lever 15 is provided with a curved portion 23, thereby clearing the upright portion 6. The endl? of the operating at the end of the spring That I claim is:

In a device of the class described, a comb having a bracket spring mounted at the outer end thereof, an upright portion, a channel therein positioned so'that one end opening registers with an opening in an end cap of an oil reservoir when shifted to give eXit to oil in said reservoir, a spring attached to said upright portion, an oil reservoir secured between said springs, an end cap, an opening near the circumference of said end cap, a lever for shifting the inner end orn said oil reservoir, a manifold within the body portion or' said comb, central openings in teeth of said comb, substantially as descrihed tor the purpose set Forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
